Plans to keep classic view?

It seems like the classic view is on the way out, however it is the view I like the best. I know you can currently switch to the classic view, but you can't default to it and it goes away when you resort.

I liked the classic view since it was simple and easy to look it. I am seriously considering some other task list because I don't use it as much without the classic view.

I cannot figure out a way to configure any of the new views to look like how the classic view looks:

1. Hotlist - single line view at top of page
2. Task entry bar below hotlist
3. Vertical list of folders (closed) which expands to show all items in that folder sorted by priority when clicked (below task entry bar).

Why can't we have a view like Classic that incorporates the new functionalities?

I can answer how to do #3:
- Sort a list of tasks by folder, and you can click on the folder heading to minimize/maximize the list of tasks.
- Set the secondary sort criteria to priority.

I can see how #2 could be nice, having a task entry field somewhere without requiring a click. BUT WAIT! You still have to click on the task entry field!! Clicking on Add Task automatically puts the cursor into the text field, so there's no effort saved... just space on the page. So I take it back: I don't see how #2 would add much.

I also went to check out Classic view, and I do think (first impression) it looks better than the non-Classic Grid view. It seems to fit more into the width of the screen. It definitely feels much slower, though!! (I prefer Multi-Line anyways.. I was just looking out of curiosity!)
